On an overcast day a standby CSX EMD GP 38-2 # 6394, that is used for local freight service, is waiting for its next assignment at Spruce Pine, North Carolina, on May 4 2009. The locomotive has been placed on a siding east of the old Clinchfield Railroad passenger station and next to the welded rail mainline. The right of way and mainline were previously the property of the Clinchfield Railroad. In the background you can see hopper cars sitting on the siding.

A CSX intermodal is about to enter Stuart Tunnel on the Magnolia Cutoff. Built by the B&O around 1914, the Magnolia Cutoff replaced the earlier "slow route" that followed the bends in the Potomac River not only cutting down on distance traveled, but also smoothed out many steep grades. The cutoff cut straight through a number of river bends using tunnels and bridges and drastically increased speeds on this section of the former B&O main line.
The West Point Route was a trademarked name comprising the Atlanta & West Point and Western Railway of Alabama, which were controlled by the Georgia Railroad.

Tom had already built his benchwork, so it was a challenge as always to create a plan to fit. I found a CSX branch near his southern Ohio location that happened to have reasonable facsimiles of the coal mine, ethanol plant, and grain operation he had already built. We also included a double-track loop representing the CSX main line with relatively broad radius while using a tighter 22" on the existing lobes of the benchwork.
